PAGE TWO Interesting N Reported F By M. K. DCMfAOAS (Special Correspondent) Raleigh, N C.?Filing notice of candidacy with the State Beard of Elections up to closing time at 6 p. m. Saturday were IIS candidates. 3J ^Democrats and 25 Republicans; ot 12 for the five State-wide positions. 35 for the 11 seats ui Congress. 17 for the 10 Superior Court judgeships, and 48 for the 20 solicitorships. Secretary Raymond C. Maxwell reported. Only for one office did more than j one Republican file, two filing for j the Republican nomination for Utili- j ties Commissioner, and thus forcing | the Republicans into the primary, as | much as they claim they dislike ;L Heretofore, only convention nominees filed, resulting ir. no primary contest. except in one campaign for the U. S. Senate four vears aso. Two also filed for a solicilorship. Republicans have filed for every seat in Congress, which is rare, and for the five State-wide positions, but for only two of the judgeships and only five of the solicitorships. No Democrat filed against Solicitor John R. Jones, 3 7th district, but he has a Republican opponent, F. J. McDuft'ie. North Wilkesboro. L.. S. Spurling of | the sixteenth district is opposed for j the Democratic solicitorial nomination by Theodore Cummings, Hickory attorney. Fees for filing are one per cent of the annual salary, making it $100 for Congress. $75 for Supreme Court justices. $65 for Superior Court judg- i es $45 for the two State offices, and S39 for solicitors. Secretary Maxwell has received $7,525 in fees, but only $5,600 was appropriated for the primary cost. Teach oi-s' Salaries Announced North Carolina rural school teachers, including principals, most of whcm are part-time teachers, will re-j;' ceive ah average salary of $550.6613 during the present school year, or J J $10 59 a week for the lull 12 months j period, it' the schools operate and they are paid for the full eight months term, figures compiled by Stale education department, show. The compilation shows that there are 16,979 teachers and principals^ white and colored) jr: the lural schools of the State, exclusive of those 37 towns having populations of 5,000 or more, and exclusive of the New Han over schools, tn which the count}' and Wilmington schools are combined. The highest average among the 99 counties is $637.40 for the year, to he paid in the rural schools of Guilford County, while the lowest average is $460.07 for the year, to be paid teachers and principals in Halifax County. The highest county average is $12.25 weekly and the lowest is $8.85 weekly, based on the twelve- i month year. AH of the counties av- , erage less than $680.00 a year, or | $12.50 a week; in 80 counties the average is below $585.00, or $11.25 a week; and in 30 counties the average ^ is less "litem : 5555.00 or 5 iu.00 each week. The differences between high and low salaries and all variations in salaries are due to the differences in training and experience of the- teachers and principals employed in the various counties. The counties ill which $600 or more are paid are Buncombe. Cabarrus nalnwaUa r\.. ...I...?

Watauga County rural teachers and principals receive an annual salary this year of ?529.33, the compilation shows. Fount a in to Take Stump former Lieutenant Governor Richard T. Fountain, whc- was runner-up in the Democratic primary for governor two years ago, is said to oe preparing to take stump and field in behalf of the candidacy or Harold Cootey. Nashville attorney, seeking to succeed the late Edward W. Pou as congressman for the Fourth North Carolina District. This would b? but natural, for Mr. Cooley went down the line for Mr. Fountain, his feliow county man. *n tut piM '-i Lt\ji ir- ?nu. it t\n\jv>;.i uidi Mr. Fountain will give Mr. Cooley his unstinted support, to what extent it is not known yet. He evidently hopes to get the old Fountain organisation behind him. and if he does, it will give the >tber candidates fits. For Mr. Fountain led Governor Ehringhaus in the counties oi this district almost two and a half to one, 2S.510 to 13,036. On the other hand. George Ross Pau. who seeks to succeed his father, was credited with "going down the line" for Governor Ehringliau3, and it is looked upon as likely that what support the Governor had in the district will go to ??Ir. Poti. as they are , known to he very friendly. But. the Fountain machine is not expected to j function in its delapidated condition ! now as well as it did two years ago. j and there are other factors which en- i tcr the contest and which would scern j to presage that U will be the most interesting of the several in the State. Senator J. VV. Bailey, though claiming to play hands off. does not like Mr. Pou. his wife's first cousin, prohibit starting with Mr. Pou's support Dt Governor A. \V. MacLean against Mr. Bailfiy in 1924. J^itvronre's Charges Disputed Charges of R. R. Lawrence, president >( the Stale Federation of Labor. that the State Employees Association looks like a "company union" and was started by "cheap politic- ; ians within and without the group of state employees, is denied by VV. 1 iv. oitaw. acting jncsiueu t m tr,e i?r- | pauization and ar. employee of the State Highway anil Public Wonts Commission, who charges the labor official with having- an A! Capone attitude of "join our organization or we will bust yours up." aliuw replies flute the group scugnt an American Federation of Labor charter and affiliation, which was held up, and that Secretary Frank Morrison, Washington, explained that the high force would have to split up into their respective crafts and join the proper national or international union. Finding many of the state employees would not have classifications. the group decided to organize its own group, Shan said, being aware of the financial condition of the State and that impossible demands would not be made, but onlypeaceful methods used. Judge Grady "Kxplodes" Judge Henry A. Grady, presiding | over Wake Superior Court, declined to recognize a Raleigh negro lawyer iTEER id Forming LIZER ROWERS AGAINST wT ?* TIWl xjuft i: the different for; particular needs of this section, cial tag on every tLE BY Hodges rH CAROLINA. fl WATAUGA DEMOCRAT?EVER i retained by the National Association for Aclvan cement of the Colored Race to represent another negro after he had been convicted of assault with intent to commit rape upon the nineyear-old daughter of his employer. "I decline to recognize you as nis attorney because he hasn'c said he hired you. and right now I want to say that the suggestion that a negro can't get as fair a trial as any white man in this court is a lie," Judge. Grady told the would-be attorney for the negro And. on the same day. he gave two vvflte men the limit permitted undr.r the law for an assault on a negro man. Judge Grady served as grand dragon of the Ku Klux Klan in North Carolina in its ascendency and resigned giving as bis reason its degeneracy. He is a colorful jurist and given to making utterances and doing things that set him apart. Textbook k'ureha.ses Considered Purchase of public school textbooks! outright from the publishers by the State of North Carolina win be considered by the State Board of Education when it calls for bids on history books now being considered, in addition to the present plan of distribution, which provides that the publishers distribute the books to ideal dealers and include it in the book cost. The board has not decided to adopt this plan of direct purchase, but has asked the publishers to submit bids jcn the new books to be adopted on ? the plan suggested as well as the local distribution plan At present the books are bought with the understanding that tbey are to be distributed within reach of the parents and are consigned to a central depository tin Raleigh, from which they are sent to local dealers. Under the plan under which bids have been asked, the ; Stale would recieve the books and undertake to distribute then: through i local dealers. Get National Aid on Buses Reports from Washington indicate that North Carolina has l>een granted the $180,000 requested, or 30 per cent. 01* the $000,000 the State has decided it will use in the purchase of school buses to replace old and uneconomical buses now in use in transporting pupils. With the $600,000, of which the State would furnish $420,000. about 750 new buses could be purchased and made to take the place of about 1.000 old buses now in use, Claude Gaddy, in charge of school bus transportation for the State School Commission, reports. The commission has 4,050 buses in operation this year, which includes several hundred model T Fords and | other safe but uneconomical old cars, j The grant will permit retirement of j these old buses from service and thus cut the cost of maintenance considlerahly. Mr. Caddy stateo. I Secretary LeKoy Martin and Dr jB B. Dougherty, member c,f the eom1 mission, went to Washington recently land nlaced before MR a the State's request. IVhiic official notice has not been received at the office, Washington dispatches say the grant has been made. State Positions Shifted Several shifts of positions have been made in the State Highway and Public Works Commission as the result of the resignation of George Ross Pou as executive director to enter the race for the Democratic nomination for Congress in the Fourth District, to succeed his late father. Jack Roach, Statesville, has been named as Mr. Pou's successor at a salary of $3,150 a year, only slightly more than half of the $6,000 paid Mr. Pou, but a boost of some $300 above Mr. Roach's former salary. Oscar Pitts, former legislator from Cahawba County, who has been one of the two chief field inspectors under Mr. Roach, will be his chief assistant in <the office here, and Charles Creech, the other field inspector, will handle the entire job for the present, it i3 announced. /vjiouie:' cnange, not. directly related, is the. employment by the State FERA administration of George Rosa, not to be confused with George Ross Pou and not even related to him, who will look after farm aclicities to be carried on by the successor to the CWA in the State. Mr. Ross, who was director of State-owned farms in a part of the Gardner administration, has been looking after prison farms for several months.
